Recent purchase of 1972, K10 short bed with 3/4 ton axles (Dana 44 front and 60 rear). Plan to keep the truck mostly stock. Question is to keep the axles or replace them with 1/2 ton units? Truck will have the easy life now. For the front just need to change from 8 lugs to 6 lugs?? What axle was in the rear- 12 bolt?

Thoughts keep or change to 1/2 ton?
